The Clay Sanskrit Library will consist of 100 major works of classical literature. Each book in the Clay Sanskrit Library is published in the original Sanskrit, in Roman script, on the left-hand page, and in English translation on the right. Twenty-seven leading scholars from eight countries are cooperating to produce fresh new translations that combine readability and accuracy. The projected list of Clay Sanskrit Library volumes will include all books of the two Indian epics: the Ramáyana and the Maha•bhárata, as well as a rich selection of classical Indian literature (Kavya). Each book will be published in a jacketed hardcover edition, in a compact 4.5" x 6.5" format, designed to bring the great literature of India to the general public, scholars, and students. Richard F. Gombrich is the Boden Professor of Sanskrit at Oxford University and the author of On Being Sanskritic and The Perfect Generosity of Prince Vessantara. Rákshasa’s Ring Vishakha•datta Translated by Michael Coulson The aristocrat who wrote this vigorous political play eschewed sentimentality in favor of realistic characterization and forceful action. It is 316 BCE, one year after Chandra•gupta Maurya, aided by his subtle minister Chanákya, has seized the kingdom of Mágadha from the last king of the Nanda dynasty. Rákshasa, Nanda’s incorruptible minister, flees abroad and plots his vengeance, while Chanákya seeks to win him over to honor Chandra•gupta Maurya as his new king.
